here's speaker of the house john boehner this morning at his thursday news conference. >> last fall i said that the only reason we're even talking about a payroll tax break or an extension of unemployment benefits is because the president's economic policies had failed. i still believe that to be the case today. the agreement that's been reached to staff a tax hike on middle class americans is a fair agreement and one that i support. i'm going to thank chairman camp and all of our conferrees for all the work and effort they've been put into this bill. but let's be honest. this is an economic relief package. not a bill that's going to grow the economy and create jobs. tomorrow is the third anniversary of the president's stimulus bill. and yet another reminder that we need to change course and focus on pro growth economic policies and the types of bills that for months republicans have been passing over to the united states senate. in december the white house famously said that extending the payroll tax cut was the last must do item on the president's agenda. according to the white hous
